Modmakers

API: Overwrite these function in your chat mod, if you want to handle messages yourself Don't forget to add an optional dependency to yl_matterbridge

Overwrite this function to receive something from the bridge

function yl_matterbridge.receive_from_bridge(user_name, message_text)
    core.chat_send_all("<" .. user_name .. "@irc> " .. message_text)
end

Overwrite this function instead if you want to use other fields coming from the bridge.

function yl_matterbridge.receive_all_from_bridge(dataset)
    if dataset.username and dataset.text and dataset.account then
        local user_name = dataset.username
        local message_text = dataset.text
        local account_name = dataset.account
        yl_matterbridge.receive_from_bridge(user_name, message_text, account_name)
    else
        core.log(
            "error",
            "[MOD] yl_matterbridge: receive/http.fetch failed. No dataset in returned data = " .. dump(dataset)
        )
    end
end

Call this function to send something to the bridge

function yl_matterbridge.send_to_bridge(user_name, message_text)
    send(user_name, message_text)
end

Set this function to yl_matterbridge.chat_message = function() end if you call yl_matterbridge.send_to_bridge yourself

function yl_matterbridge.chat_message(user_name, message_text)
    send_to_bridge(user_name, message_text)
end
